Energy capacity and battery density --- what it really means

[Louis1000000]

Tesla batteries have a capacity of 75 Kwh for model 3 and 100 Kwh for the model S allowing a range of approximately 370 miles or 600 KM.

The life span of these batteries packs is between 300,000 and 500,000 miles or 480,000 to 800,000 Km as the batteries normally cannot be charged and discharged more than 1500 times

A 10x increace in capacity would allow either batteries of 750-1000 Kwh allowing a range of 3,700 miles or 6,000 Km or ten times less batteries to allow prior range using traditional batteries.
The life span of these new silicon li-ion batteries would theoretically be 10 times batter than what the traditional batteries were able to provide

Furthermore the battery density being spoken by Peter Pascali, I assume, is the Gravimetric energy density which measures the Watts Hour per Kg. The use of silicon as an anode material  would thus reduce the weight of the batteries by 20%-40% as compared to traditional batteries. This is absolutely HUGE as noted by Peter.

From what I understood from a little search I just made is that the density is related to charging/discharging speeds. It would mean 10x the energy storage and 30% faster on charge and 30% more power available to silently eat all the ICE engines in drag races.

The words used by Peter in the Interview was 10 times the battery capacity  Defined below: So it would mean a typical battery in Tesla model 3 of 75Kwh using silicon nano structure anode could store 750 Kwh. Which makes sense since there are more electrons that can be exchanged between the lithium in the cathode and the silicon in the anode as there can be between  a graphite anode and

Not arguing this, I said 10x energy storage to assess this part. But the 30% density you seem to suggest that it's another 30% gain in either weight or capacity, which its not... It relates to charge/discharge power by kg of battery.

[Louis1000000]

Hi Pitpitcolisse, I hope no harm done I interpreted the density specifically as Watts per kg as no precise information was produced in the release or interview. But I totally agree with you in the fact that the less dense the silicon nano structure is constructed the easier the flow of electrons between the anode and the cathode. Thus allowing superfast charching and superfast discharge of the

No worries, I've got thick skin. Have a great weekend.

When Peter issues options at $4.41 I don't think we'll be seeing that price again...
